Unexpected Event

Sat on the ground, my legs crossed, I fell into a deep trance.

At first, I wanted to try awakening one of my sealed souls or tackle one of the many projects I had in mind, one of them being to create a sort of hive for my avatars but I quickly gave up.

Even though I felt I could do both, my instincts were telling me my current environment and circumstances weren't appropriate for such a major breakthrough.

'There are probably multiple eyes watching so it's best I don't reveal too much…'

I didn't want to break into the second great realm either as this time, my bloodline urged me not to.

'I'll just focus on fusing my intent with my qi and mind for now.'

Just as I was about to continue my meditation, an announcement rang out.

[The next trial will be the trial of the self.]

[Processing…5…4…]

"Giving us no time to prepare…?"
